General

Has the project been approved for incubation by the OSGeo board?

Yes.

Has an Incubation Mentor been assigned to the project?

Gary Sherman has been assigned as mentor.

Infrastructure Transition

Note, for each of the following it isn't necessary to move to foundation infrastructure, but if you aren't a reason should be provided.

Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?

If not why, and has the project page got a prominent link to the real home?

No, we do not use the OSGeo bug tracker. We have trac.mapfish.org, which is known and used. Also, we're planning
to use Github, to benefit from the power and flexibility of Git and Github. We will use Github primarily for the
hosting of the MapFish code, but we're considering using its bug/issue tracker as well.

Community Functioning

indicate the available user support mechanisms, and whether they seem to be functioning well (are getting used and get answers).

There are two mailing-lists:
[MapFish-Users] 276 members (June 2011)
[MapFish-Dev] 110 members (June 2011)

There is a good operation on this list with a really fast response time

Are source and binary downloads for the package available?

yes/no (and any caveats)

Yes, both the sources and binaries are distributed.
For installation there is an installation script for download which makes install really easy to everybody.
There are also links for direct SVN-checkout and manuals for installing from source.

There are also brief manuals for installing the environment, getting MapFish running with Apache and so on.

Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?

yes/no, indicate members and whether it has effective control.

Yes, the PSC was formed in 2009. There are 7 members, 5 were voted by the community and 2 were voted by the PSC afterwards.
Members are:
Eric Lemoine (Chair)
Bruno Binet
Yves Moisan
Julien-Samuel Lacroix
Till Adams
David Oesch
Cedric Moullet

Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.
